Meat The Greek

 As soon as I got off of work today I came to "Meat The Greek"to grab some lunch. I was super excited that it was on my way home from work, which is in Hollywood. The truck was parked in a small parking lot behind a bar. This seemed like an odd place since all of the other trucks so far have been parked on the street.

The title "Meat The Greek" is pretty self-explanatory. It instantly made me think of Greek/Medittarean foo and items such as gyros, hummus, etc.

Although the menu had  things such as pita wraps, kababobs and olives, the contents were not exactly what I had expected. The pita wraps were made with either chicken or pork; those were the only two types of meat. To my dissappointment, there was no lamb on the menu.

I ended up ordering a pork pita wrap. The pita bread was stuffed with pieces of pork, lettuce, tomato, hummus, onions and french fries! It had good flavor but the meat was altogether too dry. However, stuffing the fries into the sandwich was a clever idea.

While I ate my lunch, I noticed that the lady operating the food truck was taking food orders into the bar and people were sporadically coming out to grab their pitas with beers in hand. I thought that this was a cool concept since I overheard that the bar itself did not serve any food.

Altogether, this food truck was filling but not completely what I had expected. All of the items on the menu were definitely on the pricier side. The pork pita that I had ordered was $8 for the pita itself, not including a side and a drink.

Being from Bosnia, I grew up eating a lot of Greek food. I can't help but to think that maybe that's why I was being a 'tough critic'.
